While the words made sense, she felt something was odd. With so many excellent and experienced teachers in the school, why had they chosen her this time? But Director Zhang’s tone suggested the decision was final, so she nodded in agreement.
Returning to the teachers’ office, she noticed other teachers staring at her. Confused, she asked, “What’s going on? What happened?”
Li approached her and whispered, “Are you really going to be the class teacher for Class 2 of Grade 2?”
Xia Qianyi looked at her in surprise, “Oh, you all knew already? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Did you refuse?” Chen, another teacher, also came closer to ask.
Xia Qianyi shook her head, “I accepted.”
“You’re so brave!” Chen patted her shoulder.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” She turned to ask Li.
The first class passed peacefully, probably because those problematic students had already left before class, and later she learned that the two boys who left with Dan Cheng that day, one named Xu Yuan and the other Peng Jian, were troublesome students.
Then for many days, she didn’t see Dan Cheng come to class, and she began to worry. She looked through his enrollment materials and found that except for his parents’ names, everything else was blank. She began to ask other classmates, and then she got the note in her hand now: Star Wish. She initially thought it was the name of a cafe, but upon arrival, she discovered it was actually a bar.
She looked up, the words “Star Wish” flickering brightly in the neon lights of the night. She had been standing at the entrance for a while, hesitating whether to go in. She noticed that most people entering and leaving the bar were teenagers around seventeen or eighteen, dressed in trendy and bold clothing, with hair in various colors. For some reason, she felt a bit scared, but ultimately, her sense of teacher’s responsibility made her walk inside.
It was a large bar, with deafening music, constantly flashing colorful lights, and a crowd dancing wildly, everywhere filled with a decadent atmosphere. The noisy music and strong tobacco smell made her feel suffocated. Suddenly, the deafening music stopped, replaced by a slow song.
“Excuse me, do you often have a boy named Dan Cheng who comes here?” she asked a young bartender.
